Welcome to the teth number of The Butarque News. Today we're going to speak about the Mathematical Photography Contest, the summary of our trip to the mountain and the Easter Holidays. But first,

MATHEMATICAL PHOTOGRAPHY CONTESTThe students of our secondary school and others from all Madrid are going to the ZOO the sixteenth of April to take part in a mathematical photography contest. Two girls and a boy from our class has been chosen from another internal contest. They are Héctor, Mónica and Silvia S. Fortunately the school pays for the bus and the ticket so the students don't have to pay money. We don't know for sure the prize that they could receive but we hope that they win something.(By: Aitana González Jiménez E3B)

OUR TRIP TO THE MOUNTAINThe last Thursday 26th, we went to La Morcuera to spend a day in the mountain. In general, I think we had a good time, but when the walk finished we were very tired.We left the school at 8:30 am, so we were there at 10:30 aproximately. The time in the bus passed very quickly because we were singing songs of our childhood all the time. It was funny, but some people started to have headache. When we arrived there, we started to walk and as Ángel said, we had to walk for fifteen kilometres; but in the middle of the way, we had a rest. Then, Aitana, Silvia S, and me lost the way. We were climbing and throwing our bags for being able to find the other people, and finally, with the help of our P.E. teacher, Quique, we could.After a long time walk we arrived to Rascafría and we had lunch. Moreover, some people of this class had to walk into a river to catch a tennis ball, which Héctor had thrown, and that is now lost forever. When we finished lunch the teachers took us a photograph which will be in the secondary school for all the time, as Isabel said.We were back at four o'clock because some people had to play a basketball match and besides, in Chopera's Park, Quique did some excellents Magic's treats with cards.

EASTER HOLIDAYS

I'm very sad because we have to say "good bye" to The Butarque News for a short time, but we can say "hello" to the Easter holidays!In this period of the year it is common to see processions where people walk for kilometres showing their faith in God. We eat Easter Eggs and "torrijas". The "torrijas" are very common in Spain and they taste really good!But the most important thing: it's a period to have fun and to do nothing.We wish you a good Easter holidays.(By: Alicia Cordero Hoyo 3ºB)

Welcome to the ninth issue of our weekly program. Today we will talk about a lecture we have received at Butarque about safety on the Internet; then, we will hear about the Easter marks; and finally, the literary contest that has been celebrated in our school. But first,

INTERNET LECTURE

Last Tuesday, the 17th of March, students of 3ºB ESO received some lessons about the Internet. This was a lecture in which two police officers told us what we have to do if we have any problem in the computer while we are chatting, for instance, or they gave us some pieces of advice and recommendations. At the beggining, we saw a short film, which showed some cases of problems with the Internet, and, after that, the officers explained us a Power Point presentation with all the steps we must follow when we are surfing the Internet and also to take care of strange things, such as unknown people.To sum up, this Internet speech was focused on lies that some people say to meet children or teenagers, who don't know who the other person is and what he or she wants. Finally, they said that the police know everything we do on the Internet and if someone commits an illegal action, they know who has done it. (By Héctor Egido Jiménez, 3ºB)

EASTER MARKS

This term is finished. We are excited by the end of March, because this part of the course is longer than the others. The second or the third of April (because we don´t know very well) we will come to receive our marks bulletin. I hope the teachers will give us higher marks than in the previous term and that they won't give us homework too. A lot of students at Butarque Secondary School have studied like bookworms and the other students who haven't studied enough can recover the subjets failed in April. The only thing we have to do is push for finishing the term. And, in the end, the well deserved holidays. (By Ana Escribano López, 3ºB)

LITERARY CONTEST

As you probably know, a literary contest has been celebrated in our secondary school. There are two parts: poetry and prose, and into each one, there are two prizes: first and second. The point is that we already have the winners. As the winner of the first prize of poetry, we have David Martínez, with a work called Poema Protesta, and the winner of the second one is Silvia San Segundo, with Vuelve. On the other hand, as the winner of the first prize of prose, we have Lourdes Fuentes, with a story called Mentiras Mortales, and the second prize goes to Daniel Gallego, with his work El callejón. And if you want to be the next winner, you just have to give your work to your Spanish teacher, and have good luck! (By Lourdes Fuentes Domínguez, 3ºB)

Welcome to the eighth issue of our weekly program. Today we will talk about Father's Day Bank Holiday, a trip to the mountain and Measure by Measure. But first,

Father's Day's Bank Holiday.

The Bank Holiday starts on 19 of March, Father's Day, and it lasts four days: Thursday 19, Friday 20, Saturday 21 and Sunday 22. All students of the IES Butarque are waiting impatiently for Wednesday to arrive because it is the last day of class this week. After this bank holiday there will be less time to reach the Easter vacation and end final tests. Now, the weather is good and that will help us to enjoy the best possible this holiday. Hardly anyone knows what to give as a present to their father, because it must be something wonderful and beautiful to look at when parents remember their children. We should always show the love we feel for them because any day could be the last of our lives. Happy Father's Day, Dad!Because Life can be wonderful, said the man of "Tikitaka". (Beatriz Jiménez García, 3ºB)

Trip to the mountain.

Thetrip so long expected. The next 26 of March the 3º ESO groups will go to the mountain. They will leave the school and take the bus at about half past eight and return about five p.m. with teachers of Biology and Physical Education, Isabel and Quique. When they reach about half the route, they will stop to eat (depending on schedule).They shouldn't lose hope nor fall into the river as in previous years. Cross your fingers so they do not undergo any misfortune and that all is well. Let's hope they arrive safely to their homes. We hope that the trip is short and that everyone will go well and take advantage of one of the few trips available. (Cristina González Calvo, 3ºB)

To the theatre.

Next Wednesday 1st of April, the courses 1st Bachillerato and 3rd ESO will go to see a literary work of Shakespeare. Measure by Measure is the name of the play. The theatre is in 42 Fernández de los Ríos Street, and the price of the ticket is thirteen euros. Students will go by train (Zarzaquemada).The Literature teacher, Irene, will accompany them on their journey at seven o'clock p.m. (María Alcaraz Mascareñas, 3ºB)

Welcome to The Butarque News. In our program today, the rugby match; the photo; and the fire drill. But first,

The Rugby Match.

The last Friday was celebrated a rugby match. The teams are Spain vs Georgia. Somebody could go to the match because the gym teacher gave them some free tickets to see the match (by Óscar).

The Photo.

Last Thursday the technology teacher proposed us to do a photography with an aerogenerator that we did in the last term. We said yes to him, so he did us the photo with a camera, but the teacher hasn't given us the photo yet. My classmates made an aerogenerator very well, but someone made it better than others (by Raúl).

The fire drill.

The 27th of February at second hour of class, there was a fire drill. Luckily, at that time, our class was in the playground so we only had to wait to complete it (by Carlos).
